Someone better vote for "Start Me Up" or else muppet is going to burst an aorta scolding us all for our disrespect.
great song, but it's rare that i don't vote for a dylan-penned tune.

Hello,

This is a pretty eclectic list. How anyone can stand Toto continues to amaze me. I like Joan Armatrading, I'm not a really big Elvis fan - but Jailhouse Rock. Yeah, it's somewhat over done but that's grown over time with others imitating/covering it - great energy and delivery - among the most Elvis-ish Elvis tracks

Being honest, I would like to hear him do "Hold the Line." More generally, having him tackle the worst 80s pop would be mesmerizing—perhaps even in a non-dumpster fire way.

American band who seem to have done better over here.

Teenage Dirtbag is a pretty fun song.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Can't stand the guy's voice. The song was pretty big when I was in school and it was like nails on a chalkboard.

I know what you mean, it is a bit affected but the tune wins me over.

Got Hold The Line on now, it was never going to get a vote, let alone win but despite being a bit naff it still rocks hard.

Hmmmmm slim pickings. A few songs I don’t mind listening to but not sure any I would chose to listen to.
Went with Joan Armatrading followed by Lennon.
